The article argues that Post-Quantum Cryptography efforts are insufficient without simultaneously addressing fundamental vulnerabilities in BGP routing security via RPKI, as traffic hijacking can bypass even the strongest encryption. This analysis posits that quantum readiness requires a dual-track approach to infrastructure modernization rather than focusing solely on upper-layer algorithms.
The Dual - Front Challenge: Why Route Security (RPKI) is the Prerequisite for Quantum Readiness (PQC)

The trust foundation of the Internet stands at a historical crossroads. While the global technical community and policymakers fixate on the grand transition blueprints of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)—gearing up to face the existential blow of quantum computing against current cryptographic systems—the core dynamic routing mechanism at the bedrock of the Internet, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), remains plagued by daily routing hijacks, leaks, and misconfigurations. This misplaced priority of “heavy upper-layer encryption, light lower-layer routing” is embedding profound structural vulnerabilities into our digital future. When discussing future cybersecurity, we often fall into a linear mindset:…
